THE AMERICAN EXHIBITION.

ParadoXical as it may seem the open
ing OF the American exhibition mt Lon
don was Il success and yet it was not Il
success. The exhibition is fairly repre-
sentative of Yankee industry and
American resources, and presumably
the 1000 of our English cousins who
attended the opening could have OBJ
tanned an excellent idea, from its pro-
duets, of this country which to most of
them is an unknown land. But it seems
that while they willingly paid the adj
mission fee and crowded the grounds
they passed the exhibits coldly by and
fastened to gaze, opened m0uthed, at an
other part of the exhibit which, while
certainly distinctively American in its
character, was hardly intended by the
managers to be the chief attraction, the
Wild West show.
No one will deny that BUFFALO Bill
is Enthusiastically American, but it is
hardly tlattering to the American brain
work whose products find place within
the exhibition that he, his cowboys,
bronchoS and Indians, should become
the pivot around which the entire eX-
hibition revolves. The average untrav-
eled Englishman already possesses a
vague idea that buffaloes run riot in the
streets of New York, and that ambitious
sportsmen go cunning for redskins on
the shores of the Hudson, and the BUF-
FALo BILL aggregation is not likely to
remove the impression.
While we are disposed to extend to
the Hon. Mr.. Copy the assurance
OF our distinguished consideration
upon the success that has at
tended his efforts to simultaneously
entertain the Brtishers and pocket their
gulneas, we trust that they will yet be
convinced that the feather-bedecked
buck-skin arrayed gentleman is not Il
type OF the ordinary American citizen,
but rather a brilliant product of certain
phases of life upon this continent. And
we hope that when the intellectual de-
lights Of Mr.. CoDY'S Western sympo-
SUM begin to pale that they will dis
cover by an inspection of the remainder
of the exhibition that brains are really
existent upon this side of the water.

MiNNEsoTA's ADVANTAGES.

-. ). FAIRCTIID, who has recently re-
turned home from visit of several
months i'll California, gives Il as his
candid opinion. after careful observa-
ton and critical examination into the
agricultural resources of that state, that
farming is more profitable in Minnesota
shan i'll California. This opinion is par
ticularly valuable, coming as it does
from gentleman of the fine business
instincts and conservative judgment
which Mr.. FAIRCIIII.D is known to pos
SeSS. In comparison with California
the rigOr of MinneS0ta'S winter climate
IS more than compensated for in the
possession of other natural advantages.
Minnesota has a more fertile soil to
begin with. Its geographical location
Is an additional advantage. Being the
center of the continent, Minnesota is
naturally the continents commercial
focus. But, Independent of all these
considerations, California has one draw
back which can never be overcome.
That is its scarcity of water. Mr.. FAIR
CHHD's opinion is that the agricul-
tural development of California
cannot reach beyond its present state
from the simple fact that there is not
water enough in the California streams
to answer the purposes of irrigitation.
The supply of water is now less than
the demands for its use, and there is
nothing which surprises a Minnesotian
visiting some sections of California more
than the economy that is practiced in

MINNEAPOLIS NEWS.
BEARS EARLY FRUIT.
The Chamber OF Commerce Kick
Brings Two Roads to Time.

Brings Two Roads TO Time.
A week ago a resolution was adopted
by the Minneapolis chamber of COM
merce demanding that the Omaha and
milwaukee, roads cease discriminating
against Minneapolis in the matter of
transit rates. This, says the Market
Record, has borne fruit in the determine
alton OF one road to make more transit
and another to make Minneapolis-Chi-
cago -four rate SO low that it will hardly
make a shadow. The Milwaukee has
notilied the other lines that it will begin
to issue nneapoliS-ChicagO transit
again soon, probably next Monday with
all the fexibility and accommodating
features the system is capable of. There
is a row among the grain and flour car
rlerS that has been stirred up by this
new departure. The complaint of the
chamber was not in the form
of cry for more transit, but in that
of demand that the lines discrim-
mating against these cities, stop doing
so. The roads holding on to transit, the
cOmmOdate the grain and milling inter
ests. but finding in lire system con-
yenient method of avoiding the spirit Of
the interstate commerce law, it is re-
tanned to serve the interest of the lines
using it. The transit rate rests on a
basis of 6@71zc hundred from Mime
apOlis and st. Paul to Chicago, the small
difference depending on the point in the
interior originating the freight. The
other lines excepting the Burlington Il
Northern entered an agreement with
the transit lines for sixty days with
the purpose of bidding adieu to tran
sit. Now they, seeing their hopes
broken, are bent on mischief.
The Minnesota & Northwestern entered
fight against transit last summer, and
when Mr.. Hanley, of that road, saw in
this new notice that old ghost return
ing, he determined to make very low
flour rate between Minneapolis, st.
Paul and Chicago. The rate will most
likely go down to cents per 100 pounds
in a few days. The Burlington 81
Northern is also in the melee to stay,
and there will unquestionable be hot
fight.
There will be, it is understood, a re-
striction on the transfer of the new
transit to be issued by the Milwaukee
line that makes it of very little use to
grain shippers, and the millerS care very
little for it anyway. The next move is
to be a test of the legality of transit
rates both on complaint to the state and
to the interstate commissions.
